Biomonitoring of Toxic Effects of Pesticides in Occupationally Exposed Individuals
BACKGROUND Workers in pesticide manufacturing industries are constantly exposed to pesticides. Genetic biomonitoring provides an early identification of potential cancer and genetic diseases in exposed populations. The objectives of this biomonitoring study were to assess DNA damage through comet assay in blood samples collected from industry workers and compare these results with those of clas...

متن کاملCytogenetic analysis of Pakistani individuals occupationally exposed to pesticides in a pesticide production industry.
Although several cytogenetic biomonitoring studies on workers exposed to pesticides have been reported, there is only limited information on this topic from developing countries where pesticides have been widely used over the years. People in developing countries are at higher risk from exposure, due to poor working conditions and a lack of awareness of the potential hazards during manufacturin...
متن کاملCYTOGENETIC BIOMONITORING OF 65 RADIOLOGY TECHNOLOGISTS OCCUPATIONALLY EXPOSED TO CHRONIC DOSES OF X-IRRADIATION IN IRAN
The frequency of chromosomal aberrations was studied in the peripheral blood lymphocytes of 65 radiology technologists CRT) working at hospitals chronically exposed to x-rays. Although film dosimetry did not show the maximal annual permitted dose in any of the examined subjects, cytogenetic analysis detected fairly high levels of chromosomal aberrations in R T compared to unexposed controls...
